Many theories have been put forward to explain why they are so brightly painted and ornamented, none unfortunately likely to be true. It has been suggested, for instance, that the practice originated at the time of Elizabeth 1, when a Puritan administrator decreed that all the city’s door and window frames should be the same drab brown colour. In an act of the defiance, the artistic and expressive population responded by painting them in the brightest hues they could find. A similar story dates from reign of Queen Victoria in the late 1800’s. Some claim that after the death of her beloved husband Prince Albert, the grieving monarch ordered all the doors in Dublin painted black in his memory. Once again the rebellious Dubliners refused and turned their front doors into a riot of colour.

William Butler Yeats was born in Dublin on the 13th of June 1865. He spent Childhood holidays in County Sligo and had a great interest in Irish Celtic Folklore and his early works featured mysticism and the occult. In 1899, Yeats, Lady Gregory, Edward Martyn and George Moore began the Irish Literary Theatre to promote Irish and Celtic plays. In 1904 he was instrumental in founding the Abbey Theatre and remained involved with it until his death in 1939. In 1922 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his inspired poetry. He was at this time also appointed as a senator for the Irish Free State.

Dublin City / Baile Átha Cliath

Dublin is the capital city of Ireland with a population of nearly million people and covering an area of 115 Sq Kilometers. Situated on the estuary of the River Liffey and in the province of Leinster. Despite its fame around the world, Dublin is a remarkably small and intimate city. This is an important aspect of its charm, for within the compact central districts are museums, art galleries, medieval cathedrals and churches, Georgian terraces and great public buildings – all part of a history that goes back over a thousand years. Yet Dublin is equally renowned for its lively pubs, theatres, music venues and literary heritage. All of these contribute to the contemporary city’s uniquely vibrant atmosphere and great social and cultural scene.
